ⓘ About Sylvia Mercedes
When she’s not writing she is running around trying to catch her little girl, cleaning glitter up, attempting to plan out healthy-ish meals, and wondering where she put her phone. And in between all that, she reads a healthy diet of fantasy books. Mainly, however, she’s writing. After having a short career in traditional publishing (under a different name), she decided she’d take the plunge into the indie publishing world and has been enjoying every moment of it. “Daughter of Shades” is the first novel in the “Venatrix Chronicles” series and was released in the year 2019. A rival with a secret, a huntress without a past, and a kingdom’s fate hanging in the balance. Ayleth and her shade move like one, always hungry for the hunt. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of A Spot of Tea and Sorcery Books series, Sylvia Mercedes has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
